gm. Parzęczew, pow. zgierski, woj. łódzkie The village was founded by the Dutch colonists at the beginning of the 19th century. Góra Tkaczewska is a linear village located to the south of Ozorków near Reksuły; homesteads are situated on both sides of the village with a near-latitudinal layout. Elements of the cultural landscape characteristic of the Dutch colonization are detectable. Among them are numerous poplar and willow trees extracting water excess from the ground. The colonists’ cemetery has survived in the eastern section of the village near the railroad. The cemetery’s layout resembles a ca. 60 x 60 m square and is entirely overgrown by bushes and self-sown trees; no gravestones have survived.
